The Daily Grind
Vicky Simmons and Pedro Meade are the creators of these great posters placed in those newspaper stand things in central London. As someone who always reads these things because I'm a poor student who can't afford newspapers, I really appreciate these. This is what Vicky Simmons says about these pieces:

"I worked collaboratively with Pedro Meade to change a space that’s constantly observed and acknowledged, but often overlooked. The Evening Standard headline boards set a tone for the day and convey a message and state of mind to passing commuters. They are a physical manifestation of the news, which is updated regularly throughout the day, and are one of the fastest changing print media in our environment.

Our aim was to engage the audience with humorous and interesting headlines that are never given the prestige of front page news. We want our alternative news headlines to make people smile, to turn heads and provoke thought. The posters are aimed at commuters and passers by, who make daily journeys into London and who are regularly exposed to the boards".
